A full renovation or new build in London means months of your house being someone else's job site. The home builders in London on this page have logged 151 Google reviews between them, and every single one holds a rating of 4.9 or 5.0, so the real question is not who is competent, it is who fits the scale and style of what you're planning.

Short answer: The most-reviewed home builder on this page is Home Builder London Ltd (5.0 stars across 36 reviews), a family-run Lewisham firm with over seven years of local history, closely followed by HFR House Finishing & Remodeling (4.9, 34 reviews) for larger interior remodels. Costs for a full renovation or extension in London depend heavily on scope, so always get a written, itemised quote before work begins.

How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the business’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated them, ranked against other London home builders. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 5.0 from three dozen reviews carries more weight than a 5.0 from a handful. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does a home renovation cost in London? (2026)

Renovation and new-build costs in London vary hugely by scope, from a single-room refresh to a full extension or loft conversion, and by property type, access and whether structural or planning work is involved. Materials choice moves the total more than almost anything else.

Serving all of London

The builders above take on work across Central London and the wider metro, from Lewisham and Marylebone to Mayfair and Fitzrovia. Searching for a home builder near me? Every listing below shows a live phone number and directions so you can reach the closest option fast.

What to ask before you hire a home builder

  • Are you licensed and insured for this scale of project?
  • Is the quote fixed, or can it change once work is underway?
  • Who manages coordination between trades if multiple specialists are involved?
  • What happens if unexpected structural issues come up mid-project?
  • Is there a warranty on the finished work?
  • Can I see photos or references from a similar project you’ve completed?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these home builders?

We started from every home builder in London with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (July 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

How is a home builder different from a general contractor?

In practice the terms overlap heavily in London. The builders here all cover full renovations, extensions and multi-trade coordination rather than a single specialty.

How long does a full home renovation take in London?

Reviewers on this page mention projects ranging from a few weeks for smaller work to ten weeks or more for larger, multi-room remodels. Get a realistic timeline in writing before you start.

The bottom line

Home Builder London is the safe default given its combination of the deepest review base and a perfect rating, while HFR is the stronger call for a larger multi-room remodel. Whichever builder you pick, get the scope and timeline in writing before the first wall comes down.
